Raman Raheja, one of the founders of Legends League Cricket, stated that the choice to hold the series in Srinagar followed the positive reception received during last year's games in Jammu. Raheja said they decided to come to Kashmir this year due to receiving many queries about why they had not visited the region before. "We selected a stadium with the highest seating capacity so that as many individuals as possible can observe this momentous occasion in person, as it is motivating for the youth to witness their idols putting in effort on the field."

This will be the first chance in many years for the young people of Kashmir to see live international cricket in their own region. There is a buzz of excitement, and numerous people think this occasion will motivate young locals to consider a career in cricket.
